To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, MARINO BATTAGLIA, of Boston, in the county of Sufi'olk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a Compound for Cough Medicine and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri n tion of the same.'

My invention has for its object to efiect a rapid cure for coughs, colds, catarrh, sore throat, and kindred complaints, and consists in a compound formed of St. Johns bread, (Oemtoma siliquoa) brown sugar, dried figs, licorice-root, elder-flowers, and water.

Toenable others skilled in the art to understand and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the-manner in which I have carried it out. p

I take one pound (1 lb.) of St. J ohns bread, (Oemtonia siliqum) one pound (1 lb.) of brown sugar, one pound (1 1b.) of dried figs, two ounces (2 oz.) of licorice-root, one ounce (1 oz.)

of elder-flowers, and place them iu'a suitable vessel, with one gallon (1 gal.) of water. 1 I

then boil down this mixture till it is reduced to one quart, (1 qt.,) after which .it is strained and allowed to cool, when it is bottled for use.

One (1) tablespoonful of the above-desciibed mixture should be taken three times a day; but the dose may be varied according to circumstances.

1 The proportions of the ingredients named may be somewhat varied without departing MARINO BATTAGLIA.
